Reaching out
Myturn, I really would like to communicate with you via e-mail (since you don't have a blog or contact info set up). My e-mail address is b ear nes t at wi dot rr dot com (without spaces, of course).
7/06 - After 3 months and no period, see OB. She puts me on progesterone to see if my body starts to "work itself out."
11/06 - Work itself out? Ha! OB finally caves and performs all sorts of blood tests on DH and me. All tests, including HSG, are normal. I am diagnosed with PCOS and start 50 mg Clomid. No ovulation.
2/07 - I try 100 mg Clomid. Ovulation on CD18, BFN. In the meantime, I see an RE for a second opinion.
4/07 - RE starts me on Metformin. One of these days my eggs will shape up and work like they should...
6-07 - Cycle #1 Femara - BFP!
11-07 - We find out our son has no bladder or kidneys - a lethal malformation - and decide to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks. Zachary Andrew is stillborn on Nov. 7.
1/08 - During rest cycle before treatment, BFP!
10/08 - Our baby boy Tyler is born
11/10 - Start TTC #2 the old-fashioned way
3/11 - After seeing my RE again, find out I have Hashimoto's Disease (hypothyroidism). Must stop TTC and get thyroid straightened out.
9/11 - Finally get approved to start TTC again. Currently on Cycle #1 of letrozole.
